@YvetteCooper you are truly one vile evil bitch. May you rot in the hell reserved for the likes of #Thatcher and #Sunak for complete betrayal of our shared common humanity #SOSNHS #Careworkers #UKPol #immigration

Starmer won't understand this because he thinks everyone (who matters) LOVES Margaret Thatcher
Thatcher’s greatest achievement. Why are you surprised?

The Guardian · It’s the anti net-zero, anti-woke Tony Blair – how was this man ever considered a progressive?
Thatcher was wrong about public money, but neoliberalism feted her fictions...

The following study of UK (ditto US, etc) govt spending debunks the lie:
It shows that the UK govt creates £s whenever it spends. Neither taxes nor borrowing are required.
The first detailed analysis of UK govt spending shows that "public expenditure is always financed through money creation rather than taxation or debt issuance."
The important thing to remember is that Thatcher is still dead.

“spin-off of the US-based #CPAC – short for Conservative Political Action Conference – the #Sydney-based outfit described itself as a “values-based” organisation that “espouses the best of #Howard, #Reagan and #Thatcher while exploring new ideas and themes for the coming generations”.
Guests at the August event included #OneNation senator Pauline Hanson, Michelle Pearse, the CEO of the #AustralianChristianLobby, and broadcaster and soon-to-be alleged sex offender, #AlanJones.
Overseas talent included Jay Aeba, chairman of the Japanese Conservative Union and Heather Wilson, mother of six and co-founder of #GiveSendGo, a #Christian #crowdfunding network which has helped raise money for #NeoNazis and #AntiVaxxers”
“Then, in 2018, investment banker and long-time #ClimateConspiracist Maurice Newman, billionaire storage king Sam Kennard, and David Adler, of the #FarRight Australian Jewish Association (AJA), got together to form #AdvanceAustralia. Money was no problem: #HedgeFund manager and #Liberal Party donor Simon Fenwick tipped in $190,000; a further $400,000 came from Sydney #Establishment couple Rodney and Judith O’Neil, and the Taylor #winemaking family.
Advance pitched itself as a champion of the #SilentMajority – #HowardsBattlers 2.0. But its real concerns were better expressed by another early backer, #hotelier James Power, who was then engaged in a battle to prevent women from becoming members of #Brisbane’s #Tattersall’s Club.”
If you noticed a darker turn to the election this week, here’s a good explanation of the WHY and HOW. Also I see Tony 
got a new job.

He speaks from the heart!
IMO, #neoliberalism and #libertarianism were justified for a maximum of about 5-10 years in the era of #Kohl, #Thatcher and #Reagan, when e.g. the so called “Deutschland AG” had to be broken up.
Instead of dying afterwards, the ideology mutated into a delusion, enslaved people, created monopolies, plundered natural resources, murdered, putsched and invaded other countries “when needed”.
#Trump and his #fascism are just the visible fruiting body of this deadly fungus.
Fehlt eigentlich nur noch, dass Maggie #Thatcher sich aus dem Grab buddelt und auch wieder mitregiert.
Wobei das wahrscheinlich auch keinen großen Unterschied mehr machen würde.
the clip of glasgow hero, cathy rutherford, reacting to thatcher's death made me wonder if she had a US counterpart when reagan died. if she did, that person was not at the 2004 MTV movie awards. pack of bootlickers (apart from, maybe, kate beckinsale).

@WEBylines I have absolutely no faith in #Labour #NewLabour #momentum ever returning to anything resembling #socialism . #Thatcher destroyed #democracy #labour acquiesced 100% The present lot are a fecking disgrace. I come from good stock and massively proud of my #labour roots. 
One argument often leveled against #anarchy is the old "How do you stop bad people from taking power?" gambit.
Well, uhmm...how do parliamentary democracies in tandem with capitalism stop bad people from grasping power?
Left is now #Green Party not #Labour.
Since 1989 £7 billion paid to #ThamesWater shareholders instead of upgrading the Victorian sewage system.
#Thatcher thought she could have her cake and eat it. Get the cost of overhauling national infrastructure off the government’s balance sheet, while overseeing progress.
Only one element happened…and her city mates got rich

Lest we forget:
“But a 2024 #Labour #government committed to the #Blair-#Thatcher status quo, which refuses to meet the UK’s accumulating crises with a programme equal to it, will only aid a nativist and authoritarian right that offers its own, hallucinatory solutions. Our likely trajectory, absent fundamental reform, is one that discredits the centre-left in government and empowers the extreme right in opposition”

@Jem_of_Oz Thatcher gave this Queer kid Section 28 and stole my Queer youth. I will never forgive her for what she did and I am wary of anyone who does.
I see them as homophobes.
